VIDEO – RC DRAG RACING CARS

Located at the south end of Flatbush ave Brooklyn,  just before the Marine Park Bridge is Floyd Bennett Field.  The airfield was a municipal airport  from 1931 when it was built up until 1941 when it was conveyedto the U.S. Navy.  Today it has an air museum and recreation site with a number of activities including a sports center.  Today is the meeting of the Brooklyn 5th scale drag racing association.  They are  here to test and race their cars .  These are not your battery powered RC/Remote controlled cars you would might of had have as a kid.  The cars are gasoline powered and capable of reaching 75 MPH in 4 to 5 seconds, some even use nitrous oxide .  The racers work on their 5th scale sized cars like a Nascar or Formula one mechanic would, checking the tires, brakes, and engine performance.  It was definitely fun to watch.
